你的身邊有“黑帽”嗎?
據說,資訊安全領域有個頂級盛會叫“黑帽大會”,每年來參會的都是世界各地的駭客高手。可是,為什麼他們開會叫“黑帽”大會呢?難道是因為每個參會的都要戴黑帽子?
A black hat is the villain or bad guy, especially in a western
movie in which such a character would wear a black hat in contrast to
the hero's white hat。
“黑帽”指惡棍或壞蛋,尤其在西部片裏,他們一般都戴著一頂黑帽子,而跟他們對手的正面角色多戴白帽子。
The phrase is often used figuratively, especially in computing
slang, where it refers to a computer security hacker who breaks into
networks or computers, creates computer viruses, or commit computer
crimes. It may also refer to the act of spamming the internet with
personal/social messages where the main intention of spamming is
monetization。
在電腦領域,“黑帽”多喻指那些侵入電腦網路、創建電腦病毒,或者實施電腦犯罪的電腦駭客。另外,這個詞也指那種在因特網上四處發佈個人或社會資訊,旨在從中牟利的行為。
In contrast, those hackers who engage themselves in computer security are called white hats。
相對的,那些致力於電腦安全的電腦駭客則被稱為“白帽”。
